    this is the latest in a long series of problems that riot games has had with the law and its employees. whether or not anything will come of this investigation is unclear, but riot doesn't seem to have exactly made friends with the california DFEH as the article notes, because they're outright calling riot uncooperative on their investigation and trying to get courts to compel riot to serve up information.

      Really sad and heartbreaking but not surprising. League of Legends is probably my favorite or second favorite esport (close tie with Smash Ultimate) and with every new article it gets harder and harder to support the competitive league. I wish they had taken the valve route and let other companies run the esports portion and only focused on the game. The league of legends esports scene would probably look very different, but at least then I could enjoy the competitive scene without directly supporting Riot (which I know is a selfish and small-scale reason to want that, there's lots of other reasons I wish they went this route but that's not important for this topic)

      yes, that was a part of the article by the time i submitted it (which is incidentally why i omitted the "[UPDATE: Riot Responds]"; might have been confusing otherwise) and i assume it was added yesterday evening, judging by the timestamp on it and the fact that the article is from two days ago.
